•  Info Bioluminescent beetle Elateroidea. This larva measures 20 mm (0.79 in). Very difficult to set precisely the focus of a macro lens in the darkness with such a small moving animal. My first attempt one week earlier was not so successful, but I got that video. Very often also the animal just stops emitting its light (like here).This picture was taken at 2 am. Single long-exposure shot (1.3 s) aperture F/10 and 1000 ISO, the best compromise I could get. Bioluminescent beetle species are in regression in the World because of the phenomenon of light pollution.
